Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (Nasdaq: TNDM), a leading insulin
delivery and diabetes technology company, today announced it has
signed a multi-year collaboration agreement with the University of
Virginia Center for Diabetes Technology (UVA) to advance research
and development efforts on fully automated closed-loop insulin
delivery systems.
The research collaboration will rely on the UVA Center for
Diabetes Technology’s groundbreaking work to improve care for
patients with diabetes through technology-based interventions, and
its successes in translating advanced automated insulin delivery
(AID) algorithms into medical devices used around the world, as
well as Tandem’s market leading expertise in insulin delivery
devices, algorithm implementation, and data management.
The collaboration will expand on Tandem’s ongoing research into
the advancement of automated closed-loop insulin delivery
technology, and will involve scientists, clinicians, and functional
experts from both institutions. Results from this collaboration may
lead to clinical research to accelerate approved uses for Tandem’s
next-generation AID systems.
“Our past work with UVA, including research related to our
automated insulin delivery systems as part of the International
Diabetes Closed Loop trials, helped contribute to life-changing
products for the diabetes community,” said John Sheridan, president
and chief executive officer at Tandem. “We believe this research
collaboration will continue on our joint history of delivering new
innovations that can further improve the lives of people living
with diabetes.”
“After more than 10 years working with the Tandem team, this is
an exciting new beginning for our collaboration to serve patients
with diabetes,” said Marc Breton, PhD, associate director for
research at the UVA Center for Diabetes Technology. “Together, we
will expand our research efforts into automated insulin delivery
with the goal of once more substantially enhancing care and quality
of life for patients around the world.”
Tandem will provide research funding, technology, and supplies
to the University of Virginia during the agreement term for
diabetes-centered research and potential clinical studies.
